About this video
Solve one equation and earn a million dollars! We will explorer the secrets behind the Riemann Hypothesis - the most famous open problem in mathematics - and what it would tell us about prime numbers.
I should have mentioned one additional property, namely zeros are mirrored along the line 1/2, even though non of them are found and maybe even non of them even exist. This way, every zero not on the line would giva a harmonic with Re(s) greater than 1/2, thereby breaking the estimates for the prime counting function.
